Re: A Responsive Single Page App (SPA) with 3 Issues to Consider

Kelly

It is funny how people went silent.

To avoid caching you just have to include genURI() and pxTS() in your
javascript
and modify your code to create a unique url - something like inserting

sn = genUri(s);

and then using sn as the link.

To be able to bookmark a specific start page is rater simple.

index.html should have a possible parameter like .../index.html?page=xxxx
and a button
that bookmarks the page (.../index.html?page=xxxx)

One thing I have grown to dislike about having a single page app is
browser caching. I make changes to the files used for content within the
single page app, but I often have to clear my browser cache for the changes
to show up.

Add this to the fact that users cannot add particular "pages" to their
browser favorites. A favorites link always takes the user to the home page.

I'm guessing there are methods for getting around these issues. If this
were going to be a large website that a business had to spend money to
maintain, or a website used by tons of people where maximum performance was
a necessity, then I would probably do more research to resolve the above
issues. I definitely see the maintenance and performance benefits of single
page apps.

But this is just a hobby site and unlikely to be used by many people. I
don't mind spending time on it because, well, that's what hobbies are
for...spending time. So I'm going back to making it a traditional web site
with multiple HMTL files.

The link http://www.socialhope.info/code/SocialHope_REBOOT.zip will
continue to have the source code for the single page app version of the
website, for those who find this thread in a search or simply want to
download the code later.
